SHALL I COMPARE THEE

Two uppity numerators were comparing themselves. The first one could compare itself to a summer's day 88 times in one hour. The second, revelling in a languorous summer daze, took 1 and 3 quarter hours to compare itself 88 times. Working together how long did it take the numerators to compare themselves to 88 summer days?

Madam; you go too far, or should that be; you don't go too far enough. I forget which I find most reprehensible. Laughing


"there has been talk of a lynching."



Oh, please; talk of lynching is so like yesterday even. Do keep up to date; Line dancing is the ultimate sanction! Twisted Evil



Apart from that I hope ya'll are well and had a good weekend. I can't stay as my second coffee awaits. I will return; God willing after a light lunch. Just talk amongst yourselves.


BTW is it true Epenthesis is posting here as part of a community sentence; to reduce his jail time?

Hale Storm

To say that 10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 leads to the seventh eleven would be almost criminal.

Tx for those words Tryagain

I know of no irrational infraction befitting the ineffable experience of being here.

Ya'll is the correct spelling of y'all.


"I have to leave for Canada now, bye."


I hear ya! I too had to flee when the IRS came a knocking! Good luck.



Epenthesis on the other hand, "Tx for those words Tryagain"


Just checking if toy were reading along…no charge.



"I know of no irrational infraction befitting the ineffable experience of being here."

Well, if that don't beat all! Laughing




Etc prophesied, "all of you will be burned to almost death,,, and then the flood."

Hell! It never rains but it pours. Don't you got any GOOD news? …Amen.




Alice, Bob, Carla, and Denny each have a different kind of measuring stick. Each stick is marked with equally spaced units, but the spaces are not necessarily the same from one stick to another.

Alice's, Bob's and Denny's sticks each have been broken off at the beginning of their scales. Carla's is not broken. Alice's scale starts at 11, Bob's at 33, Carla's at 0, and Denny's at 17.

Each of the four people measured the depth of a pond at the same spot. Alice's stick read 91; Bob's stick read 113; Carla's read 160; and Denny's read 177. Then, with his stick, Denny measured Carla's height. His stick read 89.


What reading would Alice's measuring stick give for Carla's height Question
